Mrs. Christie Harned To All Instructors

Hello homeschool families, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christie Martin, and I have been homeschooling for 25 years. I have 7 amazing children and 5 of them have been homeschool graduates with 2 currently in Salt. I consider it a true blessing to be able to educate my own children, one which I never take for granted.

I began teaching Co-ops around 17 years ago. I originally started by teaching the foundations program with Classical Conversations. This introduced me to the classical method of teaching/learning. I immediately fell in love with this style of learning and began implementing it in my home. Since then, I have taught Co-ops in my home, taught the Challenge A program with Classical Conversations, and I am currently the Director and a teacher for Salt Homeschool Connection.

I strongly believe in Co-ops for homeschoolers. They have truly strengthened my children's academic abilities, as well as given them the motivation to push beyond themselves. It allows for an environment of open discussions, which results in children learning from one another. This, in my opinion, is a valuable tool in allowing our children to think for themselves and ask questions when they are unsure.

I am not only thankful but humbled to have been given this vision for Salt. I pray for the wisdom and strength needed to see this vision come into full fruition. I thank my Lord and Savior for all He has done so far, and all that is to come to our homeschooling community. This is why I give God all the glory of Salt. I am only His instrument, here to be used in any way the Lord has for me, but God is the true conductor. With the Lord as our guide, I am assured that Salt will be blessed and be a blessing to others for years to come.
